i was just trying to bump audacity to 3.0.0 but arrived at an issue that is a blocker for me atm and need some hints for an appropriate solution. the problem is with the configuration phase, with wxwidgets. i think the output says it all: -- ========== Configuring wxwidgets ========== wxWidgets_LIBRARIES=general;-L/usr/lib64;general;-pthread;general;-lwx_gtk3u_adv-3.0-gtk3;general;-lwx_baseu-3.0-gtk3;general;-lwx_gtk3u_core-3.0-gtk3;general;-lwx_gtk3u_html-3.0-gtk3;general;-lwx_baseu_net-3.0-gtk3;general;-lwx_gtk3u_qa-3.0-gtk3;general;-lwx_baseu_xml-3.0-gtk3 wxWidgets_LIBRARY_DIRS=/usr/lib64 -- Found wxWidgets: general;-L/usr/lib64;general;-pthread;general;/usr/lib64/libwx_gtk3u_adv-3.0-gtk3.so;general;/usr/lib64/libwx_baseu-3.0-gtk3.so;general;/usr/lib64/libwx_gtk3u_core-3.0-gtk3.so;general;/usr/lib64/libwx_gtk3u_html-3.0-gtk3.so;general;/usr/lib64/libwx_baseu_net-3.0-gtk3.so;general;/usr/lib64/libwx_gtk3u_qa-3.0-gtk3.so;general;/usr/lib64/libwx_baseu_xml-3.0-gtk3.so (found version "3.0.4") -- Using 'wxwidgets' system library -- Checking for module 'gtk+-3.0' -- Found gtk+-3.0, version 3.24.26 -- Checking for module 'glib-2.0' -- Found glib-2.0, version 2.66.7 CMake Error at cmake-proxies/wxWidgets/CMakeLists.txt:242 (message): ######################################################################## Audacity version 3.0.0 or higher requires use of a customized version of wxWidgets.

Which makes it quite hard for us to package their releases when we want to obey to our "don't use bundled libs" policy :-( Someone should show them our Wiki page about this: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Why_not_bundle_dependencies
Have you tried to remove or modify the check to succeed? And then look if it compiles/runs.
(In reply to jospezial from comment #5) > Have you tried to remove or modify the check to succeed? And then look if it > compiles/runs. i did not. the referenced page says: "Use patched wx3.1.3. from https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets. If you use a wx3.0 version Audacity will be unstable and crash." though i suppose it would compile without issues and will mosty run, i'd rather do it a better way, if there is one...
Created attachment 692592 [details, diff] audacity-3.0.0.patch here is a patch with the ebuild for audacity 3.0.0 in case someone wants to do more testing.
i just tried to force audacity 3.0.2 to use wxgtk 3.0 but it fails during compilation, so we really need at least 3.1.
media-sound/audacity-2.4.2-r1 fails to compile against current ffmpeg git master. Or is this gcc11 related?

Don't use ccache when troubleshooting. And in my experience Audacity 2.x will not work with >ffmpeg-4.3, although it builds.

Is there a solution in horizon? Currently Audacity is holding back ffmpeg upgrade to 4.4.
It's probably worth to take bug 800509 into consideration and if need be just last-rite Audacity to give a strong indication that spyware will not be tolerated. Probably also do the same with media-sound/musescore and move both packages to some gentoo-badware overlay for those desperate enough. ;)

Probably also do the same with media-sound/musescore and move > both packages to some gentoo-badware overlay for those desperate enough. ;) From the bug you linked: -------- "So the Gentoo build of Audacity does not have any telemetry. Just to be certain, the ebuild could use this argument to mycmakeargs to disable all network activity, thought it appears it's off by default: -Daudacity_has_networking=no" -------- So, what exactly makes this "Spyware" for you? If it is just the *possibility* to send in bug reports, crash report and telemetry data, then do it right and also last-rite Chrome/ium, Firefox, KDE, Gnome, Code::Blocks, Falkon, ... Caution is good, agreed, so better look twice, also agreed.
It's about trust of the community which Audacity had at the time I posted those comments lost. Has it regained communities trust since? I have not been following this closely since I'm trying to get into using Ardour instead but seemingly no. If I properly remember discussion on IRC/Matrix, then rudimentary telemetry is already present in at least the version of Audacity that Gentoo like many distros do offer but similar to other projects it's not invasive enough to require the controversial ToS, and Gentoo disables it as a matter of a fact making it a non-issue until 3.0. I do not remember for sure if anyone checked that telemetry can be disabled reliably and for good after Audacity was sold but that's irrelevant as I'll try to explain in the next paragraph. It's both trust as in can we trust the code to really never do bad/evil things because we flipped a switch (while noting that the switch in question says no networking, not no user data collection) and it's also the trust that Gentoo lends to Audacity and Muse Group by packaging a controversial version in its main repository. Especially if after the claimed anti-telemetry surgery it was treated as regular GPL software rather than a proprietary thing with a requirement for the user to explicitly accept it's ToS (since it would be odd to require to accept telemetry when it's allegedly not present). Similar to how it's handled with net-im/skypeforlinux. And possibly forever relegated to ~testing. Another thing to consider is that people will not necessarily understand the difference between a build of Audacity that has the bad parts disabled and either 1st party or possibly even 3rd party builds with active data collection, which is another way how Gentoo and other distros would end up lending their community trust and credence to Audacity in general. Regarding calling it spyware, I was not able to find the original source for it but here's a few select links instead: https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/oesvri/audacity_is_now_a_spyware/ https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-57721967 https://www.laptopmag.com/news/audacity-labelled-as-possible-spyware-new-owner-is-selling-your-private-data I'm not aware of any of the programs you mentioned being forbidden for children to use (which was the case of updated (not sure if still current?) Audacity privacy policy). Nor am I aware of Google or Mozilla storing foreign user data on Russian servers and sharing it with law enforcement as a blanket statement without the usual "unless required by law" clause which is a seemingly minor but actually very important nuance in countries governed by law.

Instead of quoting a previous comment, you would have done well to have read it and then understood that their statements are *irrelevant*. It's about has the open source community regained their trust in Audacity after the takeover by Muse Group. You will not prove that by posting a 1st party PR post. Does Fedora trust Audacity now? Does Debian trust them now? Are they patching/disabling something to trust it?
not for nothing, but if your objection is to the data-gathering policies of the new owners, there's a privacy-focused fork of audacity (media-sound/tenacity) that's available on the lanodanOverlay overlay. It's also compatible with wxGTK-3.1*, which seems to be in the same overlay.
I made tenacity compatible with wx3.0 as well, but tenacity is in a development limbo right now with nothing really going on.
To expand a bit more with Gentoo angle: * Tenacity has no actual releases, so that in main tree would be a live ebuild or some snapshot. * I do not intend to sign any CLAs to get audacity itself to work with wx3.0 again, and that upstream is unlikely to accept it anyhow (they care about some sort of mysterious to me accessibility improvements in their wxWidgets fork for wxMac, and do not care about making it easier for stable distributions) * Someone so inclined could grab my commits and make them apply against recent audacity, but there may be more wx3.1 specific code in there than at the point of tenacity fork at its current audacity (quite old) merge state. It might need some mangling of their rather non-conventional build system as well, which tenacity has completely replaced (and my commits work on top of the tenacity build system instead - I couldn't even build the thing when it still had the original audacity build system). If such work is successful, the gentoo audacity maintainers could perhaps include it as a patch for a 3.1.x audacity bump in the main tree.
Another thing I forgot: Supposedly wxWidgets-3.2 is actually on the way out the door finally. The planned release date is June 6th 2022. I'll believe it when I see it, though.
I'd just like to say that with PipeWire 0.3.51 Ardour is in a decent shape. It's definitely a big thing to try and learn but after the latest round of JACK fixes in 0.3.51 it appears to be usable and stable.

Created attachment 833791 [details] Ebuild for audacity with wxGTK-3.2 Managed to emerge audacity-3.2.1 with the attached patch (needs wxGTK-3.2). Notes: conan is disabled in this ebuild. I don't think we want it in the gentoo build. If enabled (default) it leads to the noted error with invalid build_type "Gentoo", where it should be "Release". Didn't research it further. Also had to disable vst3 for now (there is no "vst" flag in CMakeFile any more), as it led to a missing library error. Note that since EXPERIMENTAL_MIDI_OUT seems to be unconditionally enabled, USE flags portmidi and portsmf have to be set.
